Making Pretty Women PlSitier.

Louisville Courier-Journal: Derma-
tology, or the science of being beauti-
full and preserving ones beauty, has
not been the rage in Louisville, though
it now promises to become 80. One
reason why 1t has not been put in
practice here is hat the ladies are
pretty enough without it, and, as for
the gentlemen, their looks make little
difference any way. Madame Rupert,
a lady from Chicago, has recently
opened a suite of toilet parlors in the
Courier-Journal building, and she adj
v~crtises that she will make plain peo-
pie beautiful, and will teach those al
ready beautiful how to continue SO.
Madame Rupert has published a book
giving some account of her method,
from which | make the following ex-
tract:
THE modest little daisies that grow
in the woodland, the pure white lilies
that spring up by the lakeside, the
murmuring brook which runs on for
bNSi, iC SHoN- hIOitulilil-lODS
and the green trees in the forest are all
clothed with beauty. But the greatest
of all beauty Genes only to woman,
and God has intended it So
Although the Louisville girls are the
most beautiful in the world, there has
never lived n maiden who was alto
gether so pretty as she would like TO
be, and, in a little while, the dear crea-
lures will be asking each other, as they
meet or the street, 'Have YOU been to

Little Sense IN the Songs.

Pittsburg Dispatch: 'Yer's yer
songs-all der popular songs of der
day--only 3 cents-buy EN- and sing
'em yerself!'
That was the burden of n song sung
by a tough looking man us he stood on
Fifth ayenu Saturday with Il big bun
die of colored sheets, covered with
what the young man claimed were 'de
popular songs Of de day
Yer you are! Her Own Boy Jack
I'm Getting a Big Girl Now She's
the Image of Her Mother and Ring
the Little Chestnut Bclr-only 5 cents
buy 'em and sing EN- yourself"
continued the monotonous drawl of the
fakir rs he called of his wares.
The song man is one Of the regulars
found on the streets every Saturday
night, and he sells n good many of the
song sheets, presumably 10 people who
buy them to ''sing them themselves"
There are some funny things about the
ballad music Of the day, ever when
nothing humorous is meant. Take.
for instance, the song white Wings
which had "A run of about "A year, in
WHICH IA young man implores his yacht
To sail straight rs an arrow to his
Maggie barrow, waiting high up on
the cliffs, which are craggy. How the
yacht was to sail up the craggy cliffs
was a feat in ~seamaDship tat was not
explained. Then there is that other
pathetic tale, Poor Old Dad" in
which .'Dld Dad" curses his w2yward
son to the following lines:
You'll wish that you'd never served US so
when we'or both dead, my lad.
When your own children strike you like
you've struck your poor old dad.
Here is another man whose con-
science is troubling him. and he sings:
I'm One That's Done Wrong to My
Parents" in the following lines:
| am a man who has seen trouble and sorrow,
earted aud gay,
Not a coin IN this world can ! borrow,
Since my own | have squ.ndered away.
| once wronged my father and mother,
Who now have turned me away from their
door,
To beg, starve or die. in the streets to lie,
For to enter their streets no more.
This ought to be a warning. Mostof
these are of minstrel origin, and what
they lack in metrical effect is made up in
the peculiar ''catch lines of some
tunes. Here is one of the popular top
ical songs which sells many of them.
'HE's MEIER DONE ANYTHING SINCE"
One fine day my brother he picked up a pin,
And he's ner done anything since.
He sneaked up to q man and he stuck it In
him,
And be never done anything since.
Here's another, which Ed Harrigan
sang:
Ny DADS DINNER PAIL.
Preserve that old kettle, SO blackened and
worn;
1t he!or ged to my father before I was born;
1t hung In = corner, beyant on a nail:
Twas an emblem Of labor, my dads dinner

Filling a Bottomless Pit.

There is Il sink hole on the line o. tn,
Carthage q Adirondack railroad, int
which has been dumped ten acres o.
timber and innumerable carloads q,
stone, the effect Of which has not been
apparent, the hole being as bad as
when iirst discovered. The sink hole
is l75 feet long. situated between Har-
risville and Jayville, and where the
track runs between two chains of hills,
making the changing of the road bed
impossible. The Carthage & Adiron-
dack railroad people have long had
trouble with it, and for some time past
have been endeavoring to fill up the
hole. 1t appeared perfectly safe last
Wednesday, and three cars loaded with
gravel were pushed over the hole and
unloaded, when they sank swiftly in
eighteen feet of water. one of the men
on them narrowly escaping drowning.
About three hundred carloads of gravel
and stone. together with a vast amount
of rubbish. has been deposited in the
hole.-Malone On. W Gazette.

DesMoines is bound to go the whole

served with final and formal notice to
close up and A. Mates brewery was
raided and $1,000 gallons Of beer
found in the watts were ordered de-
stroyed by the court under advice of
the encouragement. 1t must be con
fessed hat this puts DesMoines in bet

prohibition to other places while fost-
ering distilleries, breweries and drunk
enness within her own gates.

An Indiana paper names Gen. Lew
Wallace as Il very proper person to be
nominated for president. 1t thinks
that the author of ben Hur" would
make a good chief magistrate. Gen.
Wallace is justly distinguished as a
brilliant writer, but the memory of the
treachery Of his W party when he
ran for congress will be a wet blanket
upon his ambition. TO have been the
author of Ben Hur is a greater honor
than to be president. That will be
read in all languages and in all acs
until the end of time.

ADDISON TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.
Annual Meeting Held in Middlebury
Election of Officers.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt, Feb. l6.-The Addi-
son County Temperance society held its
annual meeting here this afternoon. The
president, NJ. b. Williamson of Middle
bury occupied the chair,
A committee on nominations com
posed Of one member from each
town represented WAS appointed, rs
was also a committee of three on resOlu-
tions, as follows: Rev. Mr.. Archibald
and Rev. Mr.. Noe of Middlebury and Rev.
Mr. Stebbns of Cornwall, While these
committees were out comforting several
gentlemen made speeches on matters con
nected with temperance work. Judge
Knapp of Mddlebury explained what had
be en- done for temperance by the Legisla
ture last fall, showing clearly in what
points the law had been strengthened. f..
h. Stewart of Weybridge, Lyman w. Peet
of Cornwall, o. +. Comstock of Middle
bury and Rev. f. w. Olmstead of Brid-
port also made speeches.
The committee on nominations reported
as follows President, Rev, f. W. Ohm

The New Trestle at White River.

The temporary railroad trestle over
White river, near Hartford, erected to
serve the purpose of a bridge until the
out the liability of interference or damage
by ice, was completed last Sunday after
noon, a week after it was began. At the
time it was begun most of the timber was
standing on the stump. The total amount
of lumber ordered for its construction was
255, ,027 feet, in which there was waste of
about 10, 900 feet, and the cost of the struc-
ture is somewhere in the neighborhood of
s650O
When completed it was first tested by
backing a train of % cars over II which
caused no perceptible settling. Immedi-
ately after train of As cars drawn by the
mogul "E, q. Lucas, one of the heavier
locomotives on the line, II. d. Macarthur
engineer and II. \. Blodgett conductor,
passed over II. This caused great groan-
ing of the timbers aud they settled togeth-
er about two inches.
The test having proved satisfactory the
through freight traffic was at once re
sumed and trains commenced running
both ways over the line On Monday 1t is
estimated that $50 cars passed over the
road. Should the ice in the river break
up suddenly and go out the trestle would
undoubtedly be carried away and, antlCi-
pating that such result may be possible
at any time, now, the master bridge build
er, Mr.. Charles III. ClaIk, has filed orders
for lumber to be used in such emergency,
The bridge which was burned here was
built in 1859 to replace one burned July
of that year. This was the longest span
bridge on the line, being $50 feet in length
The new bridge will doubtless be an iron
one and the cost, including masonry, will
be about $50, 900.

EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WAsHINGToN, Feb. 15, 1887.


To Hon Daniel Manning. Secretary Of
the Treasury:
My Dear Sir Your formal letter of
resignation which | have received.
though not entirely unexpected, pre-
sents reality of the severance
of your official relations and causes
me deepest regret. This is tempered only
by the knowledge that the frank and
friendly personal relations which have
unbrokenly existed between us are to
still continue. | refer to these, because
such personal relations supply whatever
comfort and pleasure would afford and
because l feel 1t to be most supertiouS
to speak of the aid and support you have
given me and assistance you have fur
nlshed to the administration of the govern
ment during the time you have directed
the affairs of the eXacting and laboriOus
Office which you now seek to surrender.
Your labors, your achievements, your
success and your devotion to public duty
are fnlly seen and known and they chal-
ienge the appreciation and gratitude OF
your countrymen. Since | must at last
relinquish my hope of your continu
ance at my side as a counsellor
and co-laborer and since | cannot
question the reasons upon which your re
quest to be released is based, ii only
remains for me to accept the resignation
you have rendered, and to express my pro
found thanks for all you have done for
LIe III sndrlIS induluiIy my ldooIS anu
perpleXites of the past two years, if that
| may still ask of you that the first day OF
April next be fixed as the date at which
your resignation shall take effect and that
you will so regulate what remains to you
of official duty in the meantime rs TO Sc
cure that measure of freedom from veX-
atious labor which you have so justly
earned. With the earnest hope that in any
new path of life you may hereafter follow
there may be allotted to you more of com
fort and of ease than conscientious dis
charge of duty here permits.
am very sincerely your friend,

AvETO by THE PRESIDENT.
Texas will Have to supply Her Own Des-
titute Citizens.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l6.-In the message
of the president to the speaker OF the
House vetoing the bill enabling the com
missioner Of agriculture to donate seeds TO
the drouth sufferers OF Texas he says
can find no warrant for such appro-
prlalion in the constitution and do not
believe that the power and duty of the
general government ought TO be extended
to the relief of individual suffering. a
prevalent tendency to disregard the lin
tied mission of this power and duty
should be steadtastly resisted to the end
that the lesson should be constantly en-
forced, that though the people support the
government, the government should not
support the people. This has been repeat
edly and quite lately demonstrated. FEEDER
al aid. in such cases encourages the eX-
pectation of a paternal care on the part of
the government, and IL weakens the stur
dlness of our national character, while II
prevents Indulgence among our people OF
that kindly sentiment and conduct which
strengthen bonds of common brotherhood
1t is here suggested that the commissioner
of agriculture is annually directed TO ex-
pend a large sum of money for the dis
tributlon of seeds and other things OF this
description, two-thirds OF which are upon
the request of senators, Representatives,
and delegates to Congress supplied to
them for distribution among their consti-
tuents. The appropriation of the
current year is 100000, and il
will probably be no less in the
appropriation for the ensuing year.
II sufficient of our senators and represen-
tatives should request the commissioner
of agriculture to send their share of the
grain to the suffering farmers OF Texas
they might be enabled to SOW their crops
The constituents for whom in theory this
grain is intended could well bear the tenn
porary deprivation and the donors would
experience the satisfaction attending
deeds of charity.
